Euronat
Former far-right European political alliance From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
EuroNat was a far-right and ultranationalist European political alliance, formed at the congress of the French National Front (FN) in Strasbourg on 30 March 1997.[1] It had a loose organisational structure, and was, in practice, based on coordination by activities of the FN.[1]

The organisation failed to attract much support in Western Europe, as FN leader Jean-Marie Le Pen was more successful in gathering support in Eastern Europe.[1] NordNat was an attempt to form a regional organisation by Nordic parties.[1] As of the late 2000s, only the FN, BNP, ND, MS-FT, DN and NR parties were listed as members of EuroNat.
In a joint declaration, the founders of EuroNat expressed, among other things, the view that a "reborn" Europe "should be built with the European nations based on civilizations rooted in Greek, Celtic, Germanic, Latin and Christian traditions."[2] The declaration was signed by representatives of, among others, Forza Nuova, the Greater Romanian Party and Democracia Nacional, as well as the previously mentioned Sweden Democrats and Front National.[3]
Parties that at one point were part of the organisation include:[4]
